After the ground rules have been established, by the teacher for the parties. It's time for the room parents to decide how they will divide the responsibilities for each one.
Usually the teacher will request that one parent be the point person for contacting her about the parties. After that, the parents group may decide to meet before each party to divide the duties. Or they may have only one meeting at which it's determined who will be responsible for crafts for all parties, who is responsible for food for all parties, who will contact the other class parents for donations, etc
Some of the things the room mother will need to find out include:
-
The dates and occasions of the parties for your classroom.
-
How much time will be allocated for each party?
-
Does the teacher want the parents to run the entire party, or will she be organizing some of the activities?
-
Does the teacher expect a craft at every party?
-
Does the teacher expect the room parents to organize a game at each party?
-
Will there be goody bags at the parties?
-
Will funds be collected for the parties from all of the students, and who is responsible for collecting the money?
-
What kind of food does the teacher want served - parents' choice? All healthy? Minimal mess? No cupcakes?
